Building on the long-standing image of Paris as the "Capital of the Nineteenth Century" and the "Capital of Modernity," this book examines the city's place in the imagination of Irish women writers in the long nineteenth century. By reasserting the centrality of Paris, this book draws connections between Irish and European writers, expanding the map of Irish Studies and forging new points of contact between Irish literature and canonical figures like Goethe, Balzac, and Zola through the shared interest in the socio-economic development of modernity.
“Inthis highly original and engaging study of Irish women’s writing, Reznicekprovides a fresh and vigorous account of the development of the femaleBildungsroman during the long nineteenth century. Drawing upon an adroitselection of canonical and lesser-known fictions, The European Metropolis generates a dynamic analysis thatrigorously reconceptualizes the key texts and contexts informing Irish literaryproduction in this period.”
